Understanding fractals and recursive patterns

Hey, my math professor totally phoned it in when he covered fractals and recursive patterns this week. He went through the slides so fast that literally everyone in class is still scratching their heads about how the logic even works. I am trying to learn this on my own because the textbook is basically unreadable and I need to actually pass the next exam. Does anyone have a lead on some resources that explain the math behind these patterns without making it impossible to follow?

Math lectures can turn into a total disaster when the guy at the front of the room refuses to break things down into bite-sized pieces. It is like they expect you to just see the infinite complexity without showing you how the first few steps even happen. Looking for a guide that explains the iteration process step-by-step is the best way to stop your brain from melting. Understanding the simple rule that drives the whole recursion makes the rest of the geometry fall into place much faster.
